As one of the largest
computer science departments in the UK, we pride ourselves on
excellence in research and teaching. In a recent
Guardian Survey we were rated 12th out of 100 Computer Science
Departments in the UK.

Our international reputation has enabled us to appoint leading
experts in all our major research areas and to attract the financial
resources to equip our research and teaching laboratories to the
highest standards. This leads directly into our prestigious
MSc Degree
Schemes. We produce world-class research and provide
top-quality teaching within a friendly, supportive learning
environment.

Our
Research Degrees give students the opportunity to become
closely involved with a number of ongoing research activities within
the department. These include Evolutionary Computation,
Brain-Computer Interfacing, Intelligent Inhabited Environments and
Financial Forecasting. The Robotics research group is now the
largest of its kind in the UK, and has recently been making the news
with advances in Biologically Inspired Robotics.
